Heat transfer in the oceans is thought to be caused by currents that circulate from the equator to high latitudes. The ocean discharges heat into the atmosphere, when the air temperature is lower than the ocean temperature. This paper aimed to study temperature variations in the upper layer of the ocean depending on the currents from the bottom caused by heat release. The results show that in shallow water, the temperature distribution is constant from the surface to the bottom. This is due to a variety of factors, and this layer is referred to as a well-mixed layer. Other forces' influence on currents is ignored; heat release currents are relatively modest, but there is a substantial difference between the surface and seafloor. As a result of the rapid cooling at the surface, numerous plums of water fall to the bottom. It is due to the fact that lower temperatures are heavier than higher temperatures. Because of this heat release, the mixing process was able to release heat in 3 hours of simulation at a maximum depth of 30 meters. Based on these findings, the release of heat due to free convection in the ocean can last for a long period. © 2024 Author(s).
